Pilgrims Flock to Ireland's Holy Mountain. 1949

The tradition of pilgrimage to this holy mountain stretches back over 5,000 years from the Stone Age to the present day without interruption. Its religious significance dates back to the pre-Christian era, when people are thought to have gathered here to celebrate the beginning of harvest season.
